Posted: 2/14/2006 9:09:53 AM | It is always good to demonstrate your ability to communicate when you initiate contact with a new interest.
One fine example of this is to email someone asking them to tell you something that is not in their profile, then proceed to copy and paste your own. This shows you are ready to bare your soul to them.
Never ask specific questions, just a vague "tell me about yourself" always leads to intense communication on a deep level.
When asked specific questions, be sure to ignore them, and just copy and paste your profile, where the question is not answered. This stokes the fires of romance by making them ever more determined to get an answer.
Ask them questions that are clearly answered in their profile. Be sure to copy and paste your own to show that you are only capable of reading what they email directly to you.
The less a person has in common with you, the more you will have to talk about. Therefore, the people to target first are the ones that have no common interests. The people at the top of your list should be people who specifically state they want nothing to do with someone of your ethnicity, marital status, age, political views, lifestyle, and habits. This will lead to intense interest on their part, as a good debate is always fun.
If their responses become increasingly colder and shorter, show your growing enthusiasm by telling them their last email really turned you on and you can't wait to meet them. This will show that you are really paying attention to what is going on between you.
When they quit responding to you altogether it is a sign that they are overcome with passion for you. This means they are ready for you to send them your phone number, even if you have already done so.
In fact, it is always a good practice to put your phone number in every email; since you are saying so little on line, obviously you will be great fun to talk to on the phone. The more times they see your number, the deeper it will sink into their subconscious, and they will automatically dial it whenever they have a phone in their hand. | |

Posted: 2/16/2006 11:31:13 AM | Okay, so I'm new here, and that makes this thread for me. Thanks for the tips, I shall follow them immediately!
Nevertheless, this is one new fish's idea of how it works:
1. Post that you believe that in the long run, it's what is on the inside that really matters. Usually this means you're not very attractive, but sometimes pretty decent looking people are really saying, "you should still find me hawwwwwt when I go on unemployment and gain 100 pounds next year!"
2. Only respond to or show any interest in people who are good looking and have intriguing profiles.
3. Tell each person who rejects you (which is all of them)....
a. what a shallow a***hole he is (if you're female)
b. what a stuck up beyatch she is (if you're male)
4. Repeat ad nauseum.
5. Run from all the people that flock to you!!!!  | |

Only the guys are taking your tip on that one, king.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Newbies... listen close... not everything is as it seems. There are some really nice people here. On rare occasions you can see it in their profiles with extreme scrutiny, although some profiles contain a lot are dribble and occasionally you run across the ones who you think have obviously lost their minds  . If you're fortunate, those live in a different hemisphere or stratosphere, or quantum plane whichever applies.
As in anything free... Buyer Beware. | |

Posted: 2/22/2006 12:12:12 PM | Has anyone NOT started a thread asking what the opposite sex wants? If you haven't, something must be wrong with you!
I mean, the obvious answer is everyone wants the best looking, sexiest, healthiest, richest, smartest, most fun person they can find to live happily ever after with; who has no baggage and no bad habits. Problem is, there are absolutely NONE of these people on line (why would there be?). So you must ask that question to see who out there has lowered their standards enough to want something else (i.e. possibly you).
It is always helpful in your opening post to state that you have all the sterling qualities mentioned above (we know you're lying) but nobody seems to want you (we know that's the truth). Be sure to mention that you're a nice person (probably a lie) and that you're ready to turn into a not-so-nice person if that's what it takes to get a date. Threats like this always work and at least 10 people will be willing to date you to save you from the fate of becoming not-so-nice.
However, you must refuse to date them because they don't meet your standards. Then they can start a thread complaining that you didn't want them, and the cycle can continue till the end of time. | |

Posted: 2/22/2006 1:07:11 PM | Where was this when I signed up! I think this thread should be listed as "Things you must do before starting out on POF" Shore.. the part about ccp'n the profile was great...
I must take exception tho to the whole walk on the beach when your from Kansas.. dangit I lived in KS a good part of my life and I MISSED the beach.... but yea....
Lets not forget either... that the moment you dont give out your phone # that suddenly you are either a lesbian or afraid of men or both....
And could you maybe not use a pic of your wedding day where youve clearly cut the other person out of it?
I have had so much fun on this site.. you guys and gals are f*ckin great !!!!! | |

Posted: 3/1/2006 1:34:55 AM | The thread that would not die.......
Hi, I'm (who cares?) and I'm a thread-a-holic. (crowd applauds and in unison replies loudly "Welcome (who cares?)! )
WOW. This is the funniest stuff I've seen in years. I haven't had time yet to wade my way back through all 12,847 sub threads, but has anyone had the idea to create a total composite list of all these things and maybe see if POF will put it on the site somewhere? This is great stuff.
I changed my mind. I'd rather just sit here reading threads than fool with dating. Forget that crap. This is much more fun, cheaper, and I feel better afterwards. Time to go change my profile yet again.....
and another singles site victim is added to the "unrecoverable" list of Threadaholics Annonymous". | |
